Prime Minister Mark Carney will attend question period in Parliament today after all.
While Carney's official itinerary, published Monday, had him skipping the proceedings in the House of Commons today, his office has sent out a new schedule adding an appearance at question period.
The move comes after several opposition MPs called out the prime minister for failing to appear for a debate on the Iran war in the House of Commons Monday night.
While MPs are not allowed to publicly take note of who isn't in the House of Commons, many pointed out that Carney has yet to explain Canada's position on the war to parliamentarians, or to answer any questions from them.
Carney has been criticized in recent days for being inconsistent in his approach to the war.
While he initially supported the airstrikes as a means of preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, Carney said days later the U.S. and Israel did not follow international law when they launched hostilities.
